I first read ‚embrace your inner frog‘. 🤣 But it was about fog. Disappointed? A little. I really wished you tell me how to embrace my inner frog. But the first photo (which is absolutely stunning) made up for it!
Thank you, Susanne! I’m still working on how to properly embrace my inner fog. It’s a life-long process. I just made my first step with that post. Stay tuned 🥹
I was at a popular bird spot on Sunday, it was totally buried in a thick marine layer. The birders and bird photographers with $1000's in gear all grumbled that they could not get clear sitings. Fog no good for literal bird watchers. I was happy with the painterly environment it provided, but i can barely differentiate between a sparrow and a wren, so my opinion didn't count in that crowd.
I just love me some fog. A foggy day in London. Or anywhere, where silhouettes tease and taunt shapes like a nomad. Film noir without mist is impossible to imagine. Then there's the fashion of fog, of trench coats, hats, and a useless umbrella. Fog is my elusive friend bordering on the suspense of darkness. All hail the blanket of fog!
Thank you, Michael!
I hope Freddy, didn't arrive from Elm Street! Small guffaw-smile after reading your scene :-)
Pride and Prejudice (2005) sprang to mind the last scenes of the morning fog with the crescendo of music. Dawning realisations.
Thanks, Victoria. I’ve read the book but never saw the film. It’s on my list now.

You are so correct: fog is awesome to photograph in.
Thank you, Charlie. I’m still working on the proper techniques to capture the magic of fog for maximum effect.

Terrific photos, perfectlight! I wish I had seen your post before I posted mine, that way I would mention you.
no worries! i hope that my post will somehow inspire you
It already inspired me!
Excellent piece, and quite a coincidence since I just made several fog images myself!
I really like your work.
Thanks very much, Donn! Looking forward to diving in into yours.
In Radio Days Diane Wiest gets lost in the fog, in a hilariously heartbreaking way
Thanks. Totally forgot about it. I've been meaning to rewatch that film.
I believe Woody

Thanks for your comment, Mark. Did you take any photos of the fog? I would love to see them.
Left you some fog in Notes. Not sure how one is supposed to do it, but I did it.
Just saw them! Great photos, especially the ones of the mountains and the canal (with the the duck on the right). Thanks for posting!
I'm late to the party but as always, great photos and essay. Keep 'em coming Alex old boy!
Thank you, Jim!

Thanks for you comment, Aries!
